How to Use a Fire Extinguisher
At home, place the power to put out small fires in your hands and within your reach.
Fire extinguishers can help save lives and protect property, but remember — the number one priority in any house fire is to escape safely. Fire extinguishers should only be used to extinguish or contain a small fire, and after the fire department has been notified. Fire safety experts recommend always having a fire extinguisher within reach.
